Theory & Practice, volume 17, issue 5 (2024). Argues that the novel The Idiot's comparison of Rogozhin's house to a cemetery gains a literal as well as figurative sense once a reader knows the house sheltered Skoptsy tenants, since castration itself sometimes proved fatal to the sect's adherents.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (15 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedTatiana Sergeevna Karpacheva, Moscow City UniversityPublisherWell-attestedPhilology.
